Waterpark drowning victim, 11, was unlawfully killed

Staff at Liquid Leisure waited 37 minutes before calling 999 after a 17-year-old lifeguard spotted Kyra Hill struggling in a designated swimming area.

Senior coroner Heidi Connor concluded that Kyra had been unlawfully killed following gross health and safety breaches at the park. The breaches relate to the depth and visibility of the water and the absence of an emergency plan and risk assessment, she found.
